Whilst I've been out and about lately, local architecture has become my focal point of inspiration. I am inspired by the perspective and angle in all these photos and the structure, form and shape of each building give an extra element.

These scarve designs follow the theme of faux real, I have explored dimension and geometric shape to create what i call evolving worlds, taking inspiration from natural and structural forms which are depicted in a abstract style.

I have a strong interest in shape and fusing it together with hand drawn imagery is were i find the balance. Colour is the key component as it draws together the overall feel of the theme, monochrome injected with pastel blues, turquoise, purples and navies.

Although the final collection is aimed towards a male audience, I feel they appeal to both genders.

Holly Fulton a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art and The Royal College of Art, launched her own collection in A/W 2009. The combination of hand drawn, graphically styled prints layered with super bold embellishment create a really strong signature look. These are often layered up with super scale accessories to create a look that is dazzling.Holly Fulton is inspired by the Art Deco architecture of New York. Simple sharp silhouettes create the perfect canvas for deeply detailed, architecturally inspired pattern and embellishment.
This quote from Fulton’s website sums her look up perfectly: “My current signature style contains lots of geometric pattern lavished onto simply cut garments; big, luxurious, simple shapes with bold jewellery; bejewelled crystallised dresses and an eclectic mix of modern materials with a high end finish.”

Spring/ Summer 2011

Although this is womens fashion I love the bold, graphic style and find her work inspirational.

Over the past weeks I have showed you several artists, designers and artworks that inspire me. From this I feel I should give an insight into my works and concepts i am working on towards mens fashion wear.

APOCALYPTIC CONSTRUCTION (A murky geometric world)

FACE OFF

Inspired by architecture and geometric pattern with an injection of surreal human forms. I find adding a textured ground is were I find my individuality.

Following the same theme, here are more in the same collection.

CONCRETE JUNGLE

CITY SCAPE

These designs are intended to act as the backs for a T-shirt collection, with the idea that the T-shirts will be double sided.
